Good to know

Chef's tip

For an Asian twist, add a lightly sweetened soy sauce and fresh lemon juice to the salad! 🍋

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

The texture of the cucumber and cooked eggs degrades badly when thawed, making the salad unappetizing.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 2 to 3 days at most in an airtight container in the fridge. Add the dressing just before serving to maintain the freshness and texture of the cucumbers.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Ideal for the next day's lunch. Storage is the same as for batch cooking.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. This salad is eaten cold.

Variations

Add a spoonful of mayonnaise or yogurt for a creamier salad.
Brighten it with chives or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Use it as a sandwich filling.

Mistakes to avoid

Peeling the eggs without cooling them: cook them for 10 minutes in boiling water, then cool them before peeling.
Mashing the rice and imitation crab: gently fold the cooked jasmine rice into the mixture.
Serving right away: refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.
